AfterMr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Stuart: What to Know First
TruePane Windows & Doors provides independent Mr-Glass roof replacement and installation throughout Stuart, FL, with most single-unit jobs completed in one visit. A typical Mr-Glass roof glass replacement runs $380 to $820 depending on the glass package, while full frame replacements start around $900 and climb based on size and impact requirements. We are not a Mr-Glass dealer, and we do not pretend to be - we’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, which means we quote the fix that serves the homeowner, not the one that protects a franchise agreement.
This page is for Mr-Glass owners in Stuart who have a leaking roof glass panel, a fogged sealed unit, or a frame that has started to pull away from the rough opening. If that describes your situation, call (754) 324-4646 and a live person will answer. No phone tree, no callback form.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass roof units, especially those installed in Stuart’s salt-and-sun climate, fail in predictable ways. Here is what we see most often, and what we do about it.
- Sealed-unit fogging in Mr-Glass’s standard insulated glass line. Mr-Glass roof panels from the mid-2000s and earlier used a butyl-based sealant that breaks down under Martin County’s UV load. When the seal lets go, moisture creeps in and you get that permanent haze between the panes. We replace the entire insulated glass unit (IGU) with a new OEM-spec unit, not a cheap reglaze that fogs again in two seasons.
- Frame channel corrosion on aluminum Mr-Glass skylight frames. In Stuart, airborne salt from the St. Lucie River and the Atlantic works its way into the frame channels. Once the aluminum starts to pit, the gasket cannot seat properly and the panel develops slow leaks that show up as ceiling stains weeks after a storm. We inspect every channel, recut the glazing pocket when necessary, and set the new gasket with a proper bed of sealant.
- Glass crazing or thermal stress cracks on south-facing Mr-Glass panels. This is a classic Stuart problem. A roof glass panel that faces the afternoon sun heats unevenly, and if the original installer set it too tight against the frame, the stress cracks start at the edge and walk inward. We measure the opening, confirm the expansion clearance, and set the new unit with the manufacturer’s recommended gap. If the opening was cut wrong to begin with, we correct that first - setting a new panel into a bad opening just guarantees a second failure.
- Leakage at the curb or mounting deck, not the glass itself. A surprising number of Mr-Glass roof replacements are actually curb failures. The original installer flashed the curb poorly, the roofing cement failed, and water travels down the frame and into the ceiling. We pull the unit, assess the curb and flashing, and rebuild the seal plane before setting the new glass. Replacing glass without fixing the curb is like repainting a house with termites.
- Impact-panel delamination on Mr-Glass’s laminated roof units. Mr-Glass offers laminated glass options for impact zones, and in Stuart those panels take a beating. The interlayer can delaminate at the edges after years of heat and humidity, leaving a milky ring around the perimeter. This is a full-unit replacement - there is no field repair that restores the laminate’s integrity - and we quote the correct impact-rated replacement so your roof stays code-compliant.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Mr-Glass roof job we run in Stuart follows the same sequence, whether it is a simple IGU swap or a full frame replacement. Here is how it works from the first call to the final walkthrough.
- 1
The call. A live person answers, asks what you are seeing - leak location, fogging, cracks - and schedules a visit. We do not send a salesperson. We send a glazier.
- 2
The inspection. Our technician measures the rough opening twice, checks the existing frame and curb condition, and identifies the specific Mr-Glass unit and glass package. If the opening is not square or the curb has failed, you will know before we quote anything.
- 3
The quote. We quote OEM and quality aftermarket options side by side on paper, with line-item pricing. No surprise change orders later. If the opening is right, the rest is just doing the work.
- 4
The replacement. We remove the old unit, prep the frame, set the new glass with the correct clearance and sealant, and flash the curb properly if we touched it. Uniformed, background-checked technicians do the work.
- 5
The test. We water-test the new installation before we leave, then walk the interior to confirm no moisture is tracking anywhere. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you the paperwork.
- 6
The follow-through. Every Mr-Glass roof replacement carries our Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no fine print.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Stuart
Here are honest price ranges for the Mr-Glass roof work we handle most often in Stuart. These are installed prices, not parts-only figures.
- IGU replacement (standard clear or low-E, up to 4′ x 4′): $380 to $620 per unit
- IGU replacement (large or shaped panels, up to 6′ x 6′): $550 to $820 per unit
- Full frame replacement, standard aluminum: $900 to $1,400
- Full frame replacement, impact-rated laminated: $1,200 to $2,100
- Curb rebuild or re-flashing (if required): $200 to $500 depending on access and condition
What moves the price in Stuart: glass package (clear vs. low-E vs. impact), panel size and shape, frame condition, roof pitch and access, and whether the curb or flashing needs rebuild work. A second-story roof panel on a steep pitch costs more than a flat-roof unit with easy ladder access.

Why Stuart Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We have been serving Stuart and the surrounding Treasure Coast since 2008 through our founder Dale Kessler’s family tradition - his father spent thirty years as a glazier before handing Dale his first glass cutter at fourteen. That is not a marketing story. It is why we measure twice and set once, and why we do not upsell glass you do not need.
Every Mr-Glass roof replacement we install is covered by the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If it is not done right, we make it right.
And because we are an independent Mr-Glass service provider - not a branded dealer - we also quote other manufacturers when that serves you better. We work as authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, so if your Mr-Glass roof panel is beyond reasonable repair and a PGT impact unit fits the opening better, we will tell you that on paper, side by side.

FAQs
No. Since TruePane is an independent Mr-Glass service provider and not a dealer, we do not route your replacement through any manufacturer’s warranty program - so there is nothing to void. That said, if your original Mr-Glass warranty is still active, the fastest path is usually to file through the manufacturer first and see what they will cover. Then we can install whatever you get from them, or supply the replacement ourselves if the claim is denied. Call (754) 324-4646 if you want us to walk through your situation.
In most cases, yes. We match the glass package - clear, low-E, tinted, laminated - from the original specification. Some older Mr-Glass roof units used tints that have been discontinued, and when that happens we will show you the closest current option before we order anything. You will know what you are getting before the glass arrives.
Most single-panel replacements are completed in one visit, typically two to four hours from start to cleanup. Full frame replacements or jobs that require curb rebuild work may take a second visit, and we will tell you that on the quote, not after the first day is over.
There is no repair for a fogged sealed unit. Once the seal fails, the only correct fix is a full IGU replacement. This runs $380 to $820 in Stuart for most sizes. Call (754) 324-4646 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Glass-for-glass replacements typically do not require a permit in Martin County. When a job does require one - for example, if we are altering the rough opening or replacing a structural curb - we pull the permit and schedule the inspection. We will tell you on the quote whether your job needs one.
